What kind of food they eat in Zambia?

Answer 1

nsima (corn meal) cooked into a thick paste which you then mold into a ball in the palm of your hand, with a vegetable, chicken either fried or stewed or baked roasted etc or with meat can be beef or pork or maybe even goat. Beef is usually bought from the butchers store by the kilogram, or u can go to a place were they actually slaughter animals usually cows and buy a whole leg or whatever part u desire, get it cut up into smaller pieces if u have the room for it. Others smoke the meat and dry it ahh i miss that!

Beans and soyabean are frequently on the table. Nsima is the staple food, rice is grown in the plain of Mongu in the western province, very nice. Sugar is produced in Mazabuka from the sugarcane plantation, high quality for export as well. Fruits mangoes in plentiful from the western province and northwestern province, commercials farmers on the Mkushi farming block grow lots of different fruits on some of Zambias most fertile soil.

Breakfast would be something like bread with butter and tea or cereal depending on your social status and financial capability, otherwise due to porverty some people eat porridge from the corn meal "unga" or "ubuunga" with sugar. Theres lots of fruits such as guava, pawpaws,something close to a cantaloupe and many more.

There is an abundance of fish in all the province as the Kafue and Zambezi rivers wind up pretty much most of the country. Breams or tilapia as they are also known, tiger fish, bukabuka my favorite and catfish would would grow to as much as the size of a toddler scary!! Some of the fish is then cut up and smoked as dry fish and is something to eat for sure if u dohappen to go to Zambia, nobody makes it like my Mom! or then theres kapenta, which is sardines or baby fishes, these are a delicacy and very nice when eaten fresh. You can eat them dry smoked as well, how can i forget inswa, these are basically flying bugs that come out just before the rains, they are full of proteins and people catch them and put the useless buggers in a basin of water so they can't fly out, then eat them after they have been dried by frying them tasty. Ifinkubala or caterpillars are also another favorite delicasy eaten dry, idon't recommend these, but nobody has died yet from eating them. Our friends fromthe eastern province enjoy mice, which they trap and then cut up and dry smoke them, our friendsin the northern province enjoy the monkeys, i hear the head is especially delicious. then our friends in the western part enjoy whopani or alligator meat, sweet they say, the southerners enjoy mabisi, sour milk, or cultured milk as known by the Americans.

Zambians enjoy Coca-Cola and swear by a cold coca-cola with a mouthful of cavities, fanta, and Sprite come in a box cold a crate with 24 bottles. Our beer is the famous Mosi, named after the mosi-o-tunya falls or Victoria falls. I need to go coz iam getting sleepy, hope this is fun reading and is not intended to offend any of my fellow Zambian brothers and sisters. One Zambia One Nation!

Answer 2

Zambians eat maize-meal (Nshima, which is the ground flour from corn), small dried sardines (Kapenta, which is re-constituted and a small handfull can go a long way), sun-dried caterpillars (Mopane worms), most of which is mingled in with a saucey goo (most likely Ndiwo) - including such ingredients as onions, tomatoes, rape/spinach etc. Sometimes spiced up with chilli, but not often. Also groundnuts can be included. Meats can be included too, such as chicken, goat, beef, buck and even mouse. Unless you live in somewhere like Lusaka.... then they may eat cheddar cheese, prosciutto ham (from the Spar supermarket), pork sausages & kassler chops with a mustard sauce, lettuce & rocket salad (from the Spar) drizzled in a balsamic & olive oil dressing. The list goes on.
